Using a geotargeted CentralNotice would be clever, but I believe it would be trivial to get around by disabling Javascript. Currently it.wikipedia is using JS to redirect to their message, but beyond that all page contents are also being hidden with CSS (yes, you can bypass that too, but it's probably beyond the skill of most readers).

But that wouldn't matter right? The goal is to send a message to people about it.wp's vulnerability to laws like this, not to actually prevent people from accessing. I'd venture to guess that the overwhelming majority of it.wp (or any project for that matter) readers wouldn't even know to disable javascript. I probably wouldn't have figured it out unless someone told me.
